Regulus is unfair and should deal less damage.

This post is a player request to lower Regulus damage.

 

I believe that Regulus has abilities which are annoying and frustrating to other heroes. He fosters a cowardly style of play which angers players. However, I do not believe they need to changed. Instead, I believe Regulus should do less damage. This way he will have to attack more often and be more precise with his sniping in order to get kills and overpower others.

I also believe his landmines should be decreased in damage.

Regulus already does low damage early on. Plus, he has a glass jaw. Get close to him and he is dead.

regulus is fine, l2p

I play regulus often.  The best counter to mines/snipe is a high max hp.  Best counter to angelic fury build is armor items.

No. Regulus is extremely weak early game and late game. You need to revise your strategy. He is a glass cannon. If you want to talk about "cheap" characters, look at UB. But regardless, I think the game is now fairly balanced aside from Erebus, who's nerfed seems to have really helped the flow of the game.

I use to complain about Unclean Beast, but now that I have played as him, and revised my strategy, he is no longer usually a threat.

QQ or find a new strat or demigod to play.

Funny...funny stuff.

Reg is more squishy than TB even. If your going to make Reg give less damage may as well take him out of the game.

At first regulus seems to be a op demigod, but if you look into it, he is very fair. Regulus is possible the most worthless demigod early game. He is very weak and pretty much has difficulty holding a lane any demigod who actually tries to harass him.

Words of wisdom.

 

and to the op, for someone who ahs played 80+ games, I am sure you realize msot demigods are powerful when they are fed.

Regulus is completely fine.  Obviously you give him access to the candy store we call the artifact shop and he turns into quite a monster, but there are many very simple counters to that situation ever coming up.

Not saying he's OP, but when combined with heaven's wrath he does not need to hold a lane.  He can easily farm using heaven's wrath while capping unprotected flags and sniping other DG who are battling his pals.

I'm not sure he is unfair in the damage he does, however the mines can be difficult to counter. Two thoughts on this

Mines should be dangerous to both sides - the allies should be able to see them but if they walk over them BOOM

secondly Regulus should only be able to lay them where he is. I kept having the things thrown behind me in one game - maybe my tactic should have been to go for the kill - however against 2 it effectively cuts off your escape.

regulus is fine as he is except for one thing.

his mines do a huge amount of damage..well that's fine as long as they're being used like mines. but in fact people always throw mines at their enemy to do huge burst damage. why are they called mines if that is possible? i think they should stay as they are but at least should take an additional second or so before they can be triggered after thrown...

any thoughts?

I see that Sedna's pounce is supposed to be an interrupt! But I really dont see how it can be used as such when hero skills happen so quickly. Unclean Beast's grip occurs almost instantly and so does Erebus' bite. However, Rook's hammer and Regulus' mine laying do take enough time to interrupt.

I think that the reason we see so many Regulus players is because he has skills which can be abused. I honestly did not expect such a backlash of hate and rage against my post! I'm just voicing my opinion and in hopes of improving the game!!

Again I think Regulus should be harder to use and that his mine, auto attack and snipe abilities should deal slightly less damage. It will require more finess on the part of the user.

 

 

Oh and it's nice to see some names I know answer my posts. Thanks Mab,Madman, Stil Rey!

Im primarily a Reg player, and it takes alot of finess.

 

I do two main builds.  The main one is mine/auto attack.  to beat it, stack armor.  If I know someone is gona stack armor, ill get snipe, but that isnt common.  I usualy play 3v3 or 4v4 so auto attack with AF works for me. 

 

I can be very strong, mines slow 30%, and i do over 500dmg with 4x crits.  GET ARMOR. Or be fast.  Becasue I am staking my dmg so hardcore, I dont really have any hp, or armor myself.  I rely on killing you quick to win, and you cant run since -30% move speed from mines.  I hope you try to run because that =win.  Now if you fight... I try to run.

regulus lacks defensive moves, he has below average health and armor gains per level, his unmodified auto-attacks deal significantly less damage than the other Assassins. he has no interrupts. his abilities have high mana costs. he has the least amount of group support abilities in the game (in terms of buffs and debuffs). 

 

this is a very long list of weaknesses for such an "overpowered" demigod.

End of quote

No he doesn't. Shrapnel mines, mark of the betrayer, and maim are all defensive because they snare. Not to mention that he is a huge pain in the ass to kill after a few points in Sniper Scope he can attack from so far away.

End of quote

Doesn't matter since he can avoid damage so easily, and any demigod can overcome any weakness with the use of items. Hell, go Rook, whose biggest weakness is his slow movement speed, and get a swift anklet, buy boots of speed, wand of speed, journeyman treads and an elven cloak, and get a fire TB as your ally and you'll be flying across the map.

Any decent Regulus will almost always have the most kills, and they're the worst gold hogs by far, even worse then Beasts, so it's not like they can't afford things.

I doubt that. Doesn't really matter either since he can maintain Angelic Fury easily with +mana items and of course the uber-OP heart of life.

he has no interrupts
End of quote

lol the only thing on your list that actually has any merit, he can overcome his lack of interrupts easily enough.

his abilities have high mana costs
End of quote

wtf are you talking about, he has only 1 ability which costs more than 800 mana, and that's level 3 mark of the betrayer which a lot of people don't even get. Anything else is easily spammed, angelic fury doesn't go up in mana upkeep for some reason so it's easily maintained.

he has the least amount of group support abilities in the game (in terms of buffs and debuffs). 
End of quote

Um none of the assassins except for Torch Bearer have any group support abilities. If you're counting Rook's towers as support then Regulus's Mines count as support also. I would think that his snares support his team too.

 

In conclusion your list fails, and how about the fact that every single game has at least 1 Regulus, usually 2, undeniable the most overplayed Demigod in the game.

You just don't want to see easy-mode outrange-towers archer boy get his deserved demise.

My friend plays Reg all the time; on my team too, so I'm not biased in saying I really think the "range" of mines, and the way they work are kind'a op a bit; or more'so there don't really fit with the weapon concept at all.  My friend just throws them at the feet of whomever he's fighting, and, BOOM!  And if there are any other minions/DGs fighting (and there usually are) good luck seeing him casting mines, let alone the mines themsevels. They are more like nitroglycerin than mines.
